The correct answer would be (A) that is alcohol consumption during pregnancy can limit the oxygen delivery to fetus. It interferes with the ability of the fetus to utilise oxygen and hence affects the nourishment ofnormal cells and limits the development of brain, heart and other body organs. Alcohol consumption during pregnancy can result in FASDs ( fetal alcohol spectrum disorders)- these are physical, behavioural and intellectual disabilities.

Alcohol can easily cross the placenta.

Alchonol does not enhance placental transport of nutrients and does not aid in fetal development. Infact it does just the opposite.

Alcohol does not hasten the cell division and does not aid in fetal development. It actually disrupts the neural stem cell growth and slows down the cell cycle.

Alcohol can have significant effect on the development of the fetus and there's no 'safe period' for drinking alcohol during pregnancy. In fact studies have shown that alcohol consumption in the 1st trimester can cause maximum damage.
